RIP, Tony Perez, Master Stencil Artist

A wonderfully talented art buddy of mine, Tony Perez passed away yesterday due to a heart attack. His multi-layered art portraits were amazingly detailed and colorful works never failed to inspire. Tony’s passing was sudden and while his art will live on, his encouraging and sweet demeanor will be missed.

Here is a quote from his Flickr bio: “Everyone’s art is a reflection on their own personal experiences in life, the small things in life that seem to stand out as we make the journey. The way we view our surroundings and the times we live in. With such a mish mush of culture and commercialism it is easy to look to the past but always keeping an eye and your feet planted in the present.”

The flashmob event began in 1994 on the streets on SF and is now a global red tide, with hundreds of Santas and their helpers adding cheer to unsuspecting bystanders, restaurants and bars in various cities. More info on the Santarchy site.
